Install Single-User Land F/X

The steps on this page are for installing Land F/X software on a single computer that:

Has AutoCAD installed, or

Will have F/X CAD installed

and

Will not be accessing data or content from a central office server or shared online folder.

Need to install F/X CAD?

You'll be brought to the F/X CAD installation steps once you've installed Land F/X.

Do you need a Multi-User installation instead?

We generally recommend a Multi-User installation – especially in offices with multiple Land F/X users. Even if you are actually a single user (such as a sole proprietor), we still recommend a Multi-User installation, which will allow you to store your LandFX folder in a safe place and access it from additional computers such as a home computer or laptop. See our Multi-User installation steps.

Cloud or Local Data?

We recommend Cloud Data if you have a fast and reliable Internet connection. It's also a great option if you plan to work remotely or on a home computer or laptop.

If you do not have a reliable Internet connection, we recommend selecting Local Data.

Prerequisites

To complete this installation, you will need:

Your Land F/X Support ID*.

*You or your office will have received your Support ID in an email from Land F/X.

Install Single-User Land F/X using Cloud Data

These steps will help you install multi-user Land F/X using our Cloud Data option. If you have a reliable Internet connection, we recommend Cloud Data. Otherwise, use the Local Data installation steps instead.

What is the LandFX folder, and where should you store it?

The LandFX folder contains all the files and data that our software needs to use, as well as any custom content you create. Our installer will create this folder automatically in the location you choose. We recommend choosing a location that is backed up. More information on the LandFX folder >

If you have a shared online account using a service such as Dropbox, Amazon Drive, etc., we recommend locating your LandFX folder there. Storing your LandFX folder in a shared online folder will allow you to move easily between multiple computers with our software installed, such as a laptop, home computer, etc. More information >
